First and foremost, I'm a geek. However, I refuse to let that define me. I've come to realize that it's a beautiful world out there filled with beautiful people (even if just on the inside) and I wasted a lot of time putting them in boxes and otherwise rejecting them. One thing you need to know about me is that I have an overdeveloped sense of humor. I tend to say things that are funny to me, but that a lot of people don't seem to get. So if you appreciate my witticisms, we'll do just fine.

Living in Sacramento with my lovely partner, KateMinola. Together we're looking for fun and interesting people in my newly adopted home. We like to hang out in midtown when time permits, and check out the nightlife. We also love exploring new places, but we have a particular fondness for San Francisco and Berkeley. Personally, I'm working on my creative side - acting mostly. I'm also developing my eye for photography. I've been lucky in that it's paid for itself over the past couple of years. Other artistic endeavors: I've done a little painting and wouldn't mind getting back into that. Graphic design - I design most of the artwork for our little local theater company, plus it helps with the web work.

Being quiet and reserved, and coming up with a comment from left field that makes you double over laughing. (I can't believe I had that spelled 'laughting' for so long.) I can act. I've worked some local shows, just finished a supporting role in a local feature film, and I'm studying with some great teachers. I love speaking in different accents. I may not be 100% accurate with them, but people tell me I am damn entertaining.

The blinding glare from my head. Once you get past that, you'll find that I'm charming (if I don't say so myself!), funny, and kind-hearted.

Warning: I haven't updated this in a long time. My favorite book is the one I'm reading right now. Recently I've read 'A Long Way Down' by Nick Hornby, 'The Passion' by Janet Masterton. 'My French Whore' by Gene Wilder. Anything by [Murakami]. I got to see the play based on his short story 'After the War' at Berkeley Rep and found it sweet and fanciful. I love movies of all sorts, from lowbrow comedies like 'Anchorman' to darker dramas like 'Fargo' or 'Boys Don't Cry', to classics like 'Casablanca' or '[Citizen Kane]'. Of course, as an actor, a great performance in any film will keep me glued. My musical tastes...my iPod has Metallica, Iron Maiden, Deftones, Portishead, Snow Patrol, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Sarah Maclachlan, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, B-52s, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Journey, Queen, The Clash, Cranberries, and Delerium. When I have a bit of time to listen (usually driving), I find myself listening to podcasts more frequently--either programming-related (see geek, above), or any of This American Life, The Moth, Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me, or Savage Love.

My kids.

A stage.

My friends.

My sense of humor.

Music.

My sense of adventure.

Hmmm. What don't I think about? Okay, that's not so helpful. How to be more creative. How to make the people around me happy.

Either hanging out with my kids, or out making new friends!

I have excellent karma on slashdot.

You like to laugh. You think bald is sexy. You think someone with a lot of different skills is fascinating, even if he isn't an expert in most of them. You really like to laugh. You aren't afraid of silence.
